Introduction

This submission improves the vaulted [2124] NES Archon: The Light and the Dark by Twisted_Eye in 01:15.39. This run is 324 frames faster thanks to
  • best luck manipulation can be earned by delaying the start (after "light first" selected) by 3 frames
  • different input at the beginning saves 5-6 frames
  • the order of placing the units also manipulated the enemy to attack me with the weakest unit
  • I've changed the strategy too (acquiring the left core at last)
For entertainment,
  • I've used the same trick by TwistedEye (the cursor shows wrong when U+D pressed)
  • Stupid AI
  • Headshot at final fight
  • Movement.

Game objectives

  • Emulator used: FCEUX 2.1.6
  • Aims for fastest possible time
  • Entertains without losing a frame

Miscellaneous

I don't think this could be improved... but you are welcome to beat me!
I hope you enjoyed my TAS. See you until my next tas (okay, maybe I'm tasing too much) =)

Nahoc: Judging...

FractalFusion: Accepting for vault publication. It will obsolete the previous publication by virtue of fastest time by end of input. For a fastest TAS completion of this game, only fastest to end of input is an acceptable measure from now on.
